`For #MARCHintosh2022 I'm launching two web-
`based classic Mac emulators: system7.app and
`macos8.app.
`They boot instantly, are filled with useful
`programs, allow data import, export and
`persistence, and try to bring the best of the web
`to retrocomputing.

`While macOS has come a long way, I like to remind myself every once in
`a while of where the technology used to be. And thanks to Mihai
`Parparita, it’s very easy to actually experience vintage versions of the
`Mac operating system and you don’t need to dust o that old Macintosh
`LC to do so.
`Parparita created two emulators of vintage Mac operating systems, one
`for System 7 and another for System 8. The emulators are web-based so
`you can run them in a browser on any modern Mac. All you have to do is
`go to system7.app or macos8.app, waiting a few seconds for them to
`load, and then you’re ready to go.

`The emulators include a few apps and games, so you can actually use
`them to get some work done or have some fun. Both emulators include
`old versions of Acrobat Reader, Microsoft Word, Nisus Writer, Adobe
`Photoshop, KidPix, MacPaint, and a lot more. Classic Mac Games such as
`Glider, Lemmings, and the Marathon series are included, and if you really
`want to get nostalgic, both emulators come with HyperCard.
`If you think you want to use the emulators to get some work done, here
`are a few things you should know before you dive in head rst.
`You can create les and then export them to use on your modern
`Mac. To do so, Parparita created “The Outside World” server to
`transfer les between the emulators and your Mac.
`To move les from the emulator, drag the le to The Outside
`World’s Uploads folder, and the browser will move them to the
`Downloads folder on your Mac.

`To move les to the emulator, drag it from your Mac to the
`emulator screen in the browser. The File will then be saved in
`The Outside World’s Downloads folder.
`Any le saved to the emulator will disappear when you close the
`browser window.
`Pressing Command-W closes the browser window, not the window
`in the emulator (this alone foiled several attempts of me using Nisus
`Writer in the emulator to write this article.)
`You can’t cut and paste between the modern Mac and the
`emulators.

`The Speedometer testing app is available in the emulators.
`Besides being able to use apps, the emulators are a fun way to
`experience features of the OS’s past. Here are a few examples:
`WindowShade, where you can double click a window’s title bar and
`the main window disappears, leaving only the title bar.
`Scrapbook, a repository for clippings you want to quickly and
`frequently access.
`Control Strip, a strip of system settings that sat at the bottom of the
`screen.
`Having been a Mac user since System 6, the emulators are a fun way to
`try vintage Mac operating systems. The fact that they can run in a

`a window or you’ll lose your les.
